MTA finishes something ahead of schedule, but delays abound this weekend

by Benjamin Kabak

All you frequent riders of the 7 train should breathe a sigh of relief. The MTA has finished some of the track work along the 7 line, and local service to Main St. in Flushing has been restored. Weekday express service won’t return until March.

Meanwhile, everyone else has a whole slew of weekend service advisories with which we must contend.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, February 2, to 5 a.m. Monday, February 4 (and weekends until March 24), 1 trains skip 28th, 23rd, and 18th Streets in both directions due to Port Authority work on the WTC site at Cortlandt Street.

From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, February 2, to 5 a.m. Monday, February 4, there are no 1 trains between 14th Street and South Ferry due to Part Authority work on the WTC site at Cortlandt Street. Customers may take the 2 or 3 between 14th Street and Chambers Streets. There is a free shuttle bus available between Chambers Street and South Ferry.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, February 2, to 5 a.m. Monday, February 4, 23 trains run locally between 96th Street and Chambers Street due to Port Authority work on the WTC site at Cortlandt Street, roadbed reconstruction at 59th Street and station rehab work at 96th Street.


From 10 p.m. Friday, February 1, to 5 p.m. Monday, February 4, the last stop for some Bronx-bound 4 trains is 149th Street due to track panel installation at Mosholu Parkway.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, February 2, to 5 a.m. Monday, February 4, there are no C trains running. Downtown A trains run locally from 168th Street to West 4th Street, then run on the F line between West 4th and Jay Street, then return to the AC line running locally from Jay Street to Euclid Avenue. Manhattan-bound A trains run locally from Euclid Avenue to 168th Street. These changes are due to Chambers Street signal modernization.


From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, February 2, and Sunday, February 3, Queens-bound E trains run on the V line from West 4th Street to 5th Avenue due to track cable work between 42nd Street and 5th Avenue stations.


From 11 p.m. Friday, February 1, to 5 a.m. Monday, February 4, Coney Island-bound F trains run skip 4th Avenue, 15th Street-Prospect Park and Ft. Hamilton Parkway due to roadbed replacement at 7th Avenue.
